Sub-county Population in County Durham Ref: C1 2017 ONS Mid-year Population estimates for Area Action Partnership areas Purpose of this brief 1. This briefing note outlines the latest release of national population estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for small areas. These estimates represent the resident population as of 30th June 2017 and have been released down to a LSOA level and by single year of age. This is a follow-up to an earlier report detailing county level trends published in July 2018 on the Population section of the Durham Insight website. 2. For the purpose of this report these figures have then been recast to the fourteen Area Action Partnership (AAP) areas to show long term sub-county trends. 3. Supplementary reports for Strategic Partnership and Clinical Commissioning areas are also available on the Population section of the Durham Insight website. 4. Appendix 1 contains a detailed table of population change by year since 2001 by AAP area. 5. Appendix 2 contains details of population change by MSOA and a map showing the relationship between the AAP areas and MSOA boundaries covering the long term period of 2001 to 2017 and he short term period of 2011 to 2017. Map 1: Area Action Partnerships areas covering County Durham County Council Key Messages 6. At a county level local population growth since 2001 has been driven by high positive net migration (+31,200 people) while natural change (births minus deaths) was negative (-1,200 people) during this period. 7. Over the shorter term since 2011 there was still high positive net migration (+10,800 people) along with negative natural change (-160 more births than deaths). 8. Between 2016 and 2017 there was high positive net migration again with an additional 2,100 people moving into the county while natural change remained negative with 550 more deaths than births. This has seen the county’s population increase by 0.3%/1,519 people. 9. All AAP areas, except for the 4 Together AAP, have seen an increase in population between 2001 and 2017 with the largest growth in the Durham AAP of 16.8%/9,812 people and the Derwent Valley AAP with growth of 15.5%/6,239 people. In the 4 Together AAP the population fell by 5.0%/935 people over the same period. 10. Six of the fourteen AAPs have seen the number of children aged 0 to 15 increase since 2001 with the largest increases in the Derwent Valley AAP (645 more children, 8.3% rise) and the Stanley AAP (495 children, 8.3% rise). 11. Eight of the fourteen AAP areas have seen the number of children (aged 0 to 15) fall since 2001 with the largest percentage falls in the 4 Together AAP (677 fewer children, 18.2% fall) and the Teesdale AAP (662 fewer children, 15.5% fall). The East Durham AAP had the largest fall in its number of children will a fall of 2,098 children, a fall of 10.9%. 12. Since 2011 the number of AAPs seeing decreases in the 0 to 15 age group has fallen from eight to five areas with the East Durham AAP seeing a small rise in this period of 0.2%. 13. Nine of the fourteen AAP areas have seen increases in the working age population (aged 16 to 64) since 2001. However since 2011 only the Durham AAP and Spennymoor AAP have seen an increase in this group, with increases of 4.8% and 1.4% respectively. 14. Similar to the county and the other sub-county areas all fourteen AAPs have had an increase in the 65+ age group since 2001. The largest percentage increase was in the Weardale AAP (in part due to small numbers) which increased by 53.0%, an increase of 820 people. However the largest increase in number was in the Durham AAP with an increase of 3,879/46.7% people aged 65 and over since 2001. 15. All areas have seen large increases in the number of people aged 85 and over since 2001 with the 85+ population in the Great Aycliffe and Middridge nearly trebling between 2001 and 2017, rising from 246 to 675 people, an increase of 172.8%. East Durham AAP has the largest number of people aged 85+ with 2,039 people. Population change by AAP Area Age group: Overall 16. All AAP areas except for the 4 Together AAP, have seen varying degrees of population growth since 2001, in line with growth across the county as illustrated below. In the 4 Together AAP the population fell by 5.0%/935 people. A detailed table is provided in Appendix 1.
